Katelyn & Brandon

Presented by Laurenda's Family Restaurant and Catering

Brandon and Katelyn were married on September 13, 2025, at Aurora Farms in Taylors, South Carolina, surrounded by the people who have loved and supported them every step of the way. After dating for two and a half years, the day marked both the beginning of their marriage and the closing of a special family season, as Katelyn was the last of five siblings to be married. Brandon and Katelyn met online, and over the past two and a half years, they have grown together, laughed together, and built a foundation of love and faith. Their wedding day reflected their story perfectly, from the quiet, meaningful moments to the laughter shared with family and friends. It was a day that felt truly theirs. Laurendaʼs Catering and her amazing team played such a special role in making the day feel truly magical. Over the years, Laurenda has been part of each of Katelynʼs siblingsʼ wedding celebrations in different ways, from bridal showers to rehearsal dinners and wedding events, and having her be part of Brandon and Katelynʼs day felt like welcoming family. Beyond the food itself, Laurenda and her team brought care, attention, and a personal touch to every detail, helping the day run smoothly and giving the couple and their guests space to fully enjoy the celebration. Brandon and Katelyn adore Laurenda and her team for the love and care they poured into every moment, making the wedding feel joyful, warm, and unforgettable. Brandon and Katelyn are so thankful for their family, friends, and Jesus, whose love was at the center of the entire day. They are grateful for the laughter, the tears, and the shared memories that made their wedding a true celebration of love and faith. Their day was not only a beginning, but a reflection of the journey that brought them together and the community that surrounds them

We met at 17 years old through the YMCA, with the help of some friends! We started dating not long after we met, and never looked back! Weʼve made countless memories together, many of them being on fishing trips! Marshall proposed in September of 2024, the day after Hurricane Helene happened. The bridge that he decided to propose on had been destroyed in the Hurricane, but he still decided to go along with the proposal and it ended up being perfect! Our wedding day was the best day, and we canʼt wait to see what the future holds!

had our families and close friends hidden so they could watch and celebrate with us after! His daughter Pressley came running to us with tears in her eyes and so much excitement for us to finally make it official! I slowly started to plan the wedding and four months later, we found out that our little boy Stetson was on the way. The biggest surprise and blessing postponed our wedding for a while.

Finally, three years later, we decided that it was time and chose August 9th, 2025 - our 10 year anniversary!! It seemed like everything aligned for us to have it on that day and it was so special to us. Our day was so sweet, loving, and meaningful and we truly couldn't have asked for a better day!

Great weddings are all about hiring the right people and the Upstate Bridal Association helps you do just that.

Our member businesses are run by people who know their reputation is on the line with every wedding including yours.

They are a respected diverse group of companies. Each provides a service to the newly en-gaged. And each has been approved for membership by the Upstate Bridal Association Ex-ecutive Committee.
